"Jacques Santini...will be greeted in every dugout of the country by "one-nil, one-nil" - Clive Tyldsley, 89th minute of France-England June 13, 2004.
"Ooooohhhh Nooooooo" Bobby Robson 91st minute.
FYI There is now two channels on TV in the US dedicated to soccer. They show the English Premiership, German Bundesliga, French Ligue 1, US MLS, Argentina, Concacaf Champions Cup, Copa Libatorades, Serie A, La Liga, Brazilian League, UEFA Cup, Dutch Eredivisie, Columbian League, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia.
Plus Setanta are supposed to start showing on Directv later this month. So you'd never know, maybe we'll get a bit of the Eircom League too.

i hope you ask for his permission first!
sorry about that, minor mistake, tis corrected now, was in stitches when i realised
Yeah, they have a pretty good set up and some fcuking brilliant players. A lot of my mates play for them and have nothing but good things to say about them.
Ireland : Shels
England : Liverpool (started in 1977 and only cause they wore red)
Spain : Barca (The Nou Camp has to be seen to be believed!) and Depo (just like them)
Italy : Ac Milan (Maldini is a legend)
Croatia : FC Vojvodina (and yes I have the jersey to prove it)
Germany : Dortmund (the horrible yellow kit everytime)
Scotland : Queen of the South (stupid name)
France : Marsellies or PSG (dunno why really)
Holland : Ajax
Bye bye Stan. Go off back to collecting cones you useless git.
I Love:
Shamrock Rovers (greatest club in the world)
I Like:
Celtic (the obvious Irish links)
Napoli (El Diego + mad fans)
Barcelona (més que un club as they say + El Diego)
Boca Juniors (El Diego,again + mental fans)
Panathinaikos (Rovers links,good crest/colors +mad fans)
Cliftonville (Rovers links+nationalist club of belfast)
seen them all bar Boca (unless their under 20 team counts?) and PAO play
as for Hibs being the original Irish team was not Dundee Harps (now United) the original Irish club?im open to correction on that though
as for "AC" Milan.it annoys me when people refer to Milan as "AC". AC is Associazione Calcio-the italian equivalent of Football Club.Fiorentina and Parma both have "AC" before their name.no-one refers to Rovers as FC or to st pats as AFC, likewise no-one should refer to Milan as AC.its simply Milan and Inter, not AC and Inter Milan
FAO who started this thread:why do you follow so many shyte teams.it doesnt make sense to follow loads of obscure crap teams simply for being obscure crap teams
Hibernian are the original Irish team in Scotland. They were founded in 1875.
Dundee Harps were founded in 1879. They were actually disbanded in 1906. In 1909 Dundee Hibernian came into being and then became Dundee United in 1923.
